hey everyone, I have a quick question about my 4wd. It is not engaging when i turn the **** in side well actualy it is enguaging but on one side only. I was told that i might have a leake in my air hose does this sound right? To get it in 4wd i have to get out and remove the hubs, manualy turn the splines untill they lock, than slip them back into position. anyone have some helpfull advice other than search the arcives of old posts and see if i can find something that might relate?
thanks in advance,
Steve

 

Welcome, please post up some more info on your truck, like the year.

It makes getting you help much easier

 

oh ya sorry about that. I have a 1999 ranger xlt 6cyl 4.0 liter

 

IIRC you have vacume hubs there a pain in the ***. it might be just the air line to them or you could go and buy some avm hubs that are manual and know when they are engaged and when they are out.

 

Welcome to the new world of installing AVM hubs..they shall be your new best friend

 

hey cameron, thanks so when you say "AVM hubs" is that the same as warn hubs

 

well i am used to getting out to lock them in anyway.
thanks guys

 

yea avm is the ones they make for the 98 plus trucks i dont think warn makes them for the 98 plus trucks. i will get you a link give me a few min to find one.

there is some good info

 

thanks guys, I now have a set on order and i can't wait for them to come in.

 

You'll never regret this upgrade.. getting out of the truck to engage, is a way better deal than having it not work at all

 

^^ couldnt of said it better chris

 

thanks again
